First off sorry about the blurry pix. Broke my tripod on a recent trip.
Just a quick teaser. Plan on housing electronics in the pedestal the skull sits on with a brighter LED. Just thought it looked too cool not to post. Tut will follow with finished work.

Sorry for the delay...
Already posted this to the Shaun of the Dead section but thought I should add it here as well.
Just could not stand the paint apps on these guys and needed the practice. Hope you like.
That's just the thing. The LEDs are all mounted to a circuit board with in line resistors. You have to physically remove them from the board and re solder them to the board. Should have gotten pix of the internals.
The good news is HT did not use too much glue when assembling the backpack so...
The LEDs are indeed colored, no gels.
Thanks Wor-Gar. Honestly after I got into the thick of it I questioned myself the importance of this mod. Nice to have accuracy but at what cost. It's definately a bugger.
13. On backpack, the correct order of the colored lights from top to bottom should be: green - blue - yellow - red... (The order as they are now, is: blue - yellow - green - red)
I strongly suggest only attempting this mod if you are extremely comfortable around a soldering iron. The pack comes...
Thank you all for the kind words.
The display case is indeed from Michaels. Don't know if they still stock the size I've got. It retailed for about $50 but I bought it when they had a 50% off sale on display cases. It may have been located in the doll crafting section.
I did bind the book by...
I'm the guy who did the hand mod. I think Medicom's figure is just awesome. Here are a couple of pix from my display.
RenegadeOne, I believe the purple one was U.S. only. Could be wrong though.
Finally got the nads to mess with my Tak Bat. Took a good bit of dremeling both head and body. Still need to futz with some stuff and make a custom stand. Thanks again to Wofford for making this awesome Bale sculpt available to the masses.
Thanks all!
Here are a couple of full body shots. I'm using a pretty horrible body right now. Not sure what kind. Should have some of HT TT bodies next week and will convert.
